| This ring occasionally exerts its power to randomly translocate its wearer to another place, and can be deliberately activated for the same effect. |
The ring of teleportation induces teleportitis in its wearer so long as it is worn. It can also be evoked to deliberately cause teleportation, producing the same effect as a scroll of teleportation on success. It is usually generated cursed.
The chance to successfully evoke the teleportation ability is affected by Evocations. The random teleports this ring afflicts you with occur without warning every so often and are unaffected by your skills, but can be prevented by stasis. Formicids, having natural stasis, receive no benefit or penalty from rings of teleportation, and should discard them.
The chance of successfully evoking this ring rises with your Evocations skill:
| Evocations | Failure rate(%) |
| 0 | 71.47% |
| 1 | 67.43% |
| 3 | 58.88% |
| 5 | 50.00% |

Strategy
Rings of teleportation are the only renewable source of teleport in the game: thus, it is often worth keeping one around. However, keep in mind that it takes high evocations to be able to teleport reliably. It's best for escaping when you can see a bad situation coming and have time to swap rings and accept a failure or two, rather than when you're already in a bad situation and every aut counts.
Characters stuck with a cursed ring of teleportation on their finger may wish to wear an amulet of stasis just to avoid getting themselves randomly launched into a terribly dangerous situation. Just remember to take the amulet off quickly if you find yourself in need of a scroll of blinking to get yourself to safety.
Rings of teleportation are one of the most useful items to bring to The Abyss, since teleporting away from fights is a great escape method (it will always take you to another region of the Abyss). Also, if you keep evoking it, you can cover a lot of ground and find an exit very quickly.
History
In 0.18, rings of teleportation will no longer be evokable and will only have the teleportitis effect.
